If a car is not driven for a long time, it's better to fill it halfway with fuel. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further categorized into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.

Is there still a diesel version of the Haval H6?

2017 Haval H6 has a diesel version. The Haval H6 Sport Edition added diesel models, with a total of 6 models equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine. The Haval H6 is positioned as a domestic compact SUV, and it is an SUV for urban use. The main difference between the gasoline and diesel versions is the engine, which is the difference in fuel. The gasoline version is more convenient for refueling and cleaner, while the diesel version has strong power. The fuel consumption and power of the Haval H6 diesel vehicle are more abundant than those of the gasoline vehicle, but the noise will be relatively louder. If you frequently drive on complex road conditions or rural road conditions, you can consider the diesel model. For urban household use, the gasoline vehicle is sufficient. Choosing the diesel version has good power performance, lower later costs, and is reliable and stable. However, the emission pollution will be greater. The gasoline engine is easier to start in winter and has better noise control. You can choose according to your own car needs. The diesel version is heavier, but the efficiency of diesel is higher than that of gasoline, with high low-end torque. Therefore, the diesel version can start on flat ground by releasing the clutch without stepping on the accelerator. Relatively speaking, diesel is still fuel-efficient.

What is the first maintenance mileage for Jetta VS5?

What is the difference between stock cars and new cars?

The differences between stock cars and new cars are as follows: 1. After a new car leaves the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires may deteriorate due to prolonged storage without periodic inspection and maintenance, leading to issues like moisture damage and aging. 2. Only a very few dealers implement periodic inspection and maintenance measures. The cost is not high, but it consumes manpower and time. Some 4S stores even park their cars outdoors, exposing new cars directly to scorching sun, wind, and rain. 3. For stock cars stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is hard to detect without professional testing equipment. Many long-stored vehicles also suffer from lack of oil or power.
